Kurt... I have contacted QB Customer Care Team... on 2 different occasions.  I was told that this is a known error and QB has no idea why it's happening but there is a ticket in.  They say it's my bank.... it's not. The last person (who barely spoke English) worked her tail off and after about an hour + on the phone, we finally gave up.... with no solution. I was able to add, yet again, another payment method today and 'resubscribe' just so I can work with QB (I am locked out) but have now paid for my subscription more than once just in order to work within it.
